This colorful wall relief is a reproduction of a Mayan original located in Yaxchilan, Mexico. The original dates to 755 A.D. and depicts the Mayan Vision Serpent. During Mayan bloodletting rituals, participants experienced visions of gods and deities. The Vision Serpent was their gateway to the spirit realm and thought to be the vehicle by which the gods made themselves known to humanity. The god who was being contacted could be seen rising from the Serpent's mouth.

This item's design originates from Mexico and has been created using manufacturing processes in China. It is a carefully constructed reproduction of an ancient artifact and is designed to replicate the antique style of the original piece it’s based on. With a little help from modern machinery, we are pleased to offer you treasures from the past that can be displayed right in your home.

This item may feature slight variation in color, details, and overall appearance. Imperfections and surface cracks add to the unique artistry of each piece and are intentional aspects of its design.

Artistry can be found in museums and couture houses, in galleries and libraries. But it doesn’t stop there. Art resides in the markets of Kathmandu and in artisan workshops in Bali. It is cut from brass in Nairobi and carved out of the tagua nuts that grow native in Central America.

At Cultural Elements, we believe that richest sources for style and visual inspiration come from artisan hands all over the world.
